Psalm 23 (for the workplace)

Everyone should know Psalm 23 in the bible. It is like the most famous passage in the bible. My mum sent me the following modification of Psalm 23 for the work place. Hah! For those who know Psalm 23, may it encourage and deepen your faith in trusting God to enable us to prosper in your workplace and to bless the work of your hands.

Psalm 23(For the Work Place)

The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want.
He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me.
He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining.

He reminds me that He is my source and not my job.
He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions
that I might honor Him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails (that's me!), system crashes,
unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co -workers,
discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn't cooperate every morning,
I still will not stop---for He is with me!

His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through.
He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me.
He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.
His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus cheque
His retirement plan beats any 401k there is! When it's all said and done,
I'll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that
I BLESS HIS NAME!!!!!!

Work is busy and demanding (!), which is good. I am enjoying what I am doing even though I hardly have time to surf net and slack. I meet people, talk, rush around and the best thing is, my work is not deskbound! :) Really, never a dull moment.
People, if you have super experience IT professional friends (at least 3 years' experience), let me know. I need to recruit 100 plus more people!!!! Yeah, in such times, we are still vigourously employing. I am looking for a junior temp assistant to assist me. So if you are looking or have friends who don't mind doing temp work, let me know. :)
